Powerful non caustic alkaline cleaner

ADVANTAGE
Careclean Alkaline Extra provides economic removal by saponification and
emulsification, at low cleaning temperatures (20 - 60 C), of:
vegetable, fish, animal oils and fats
FAME, palm oils, palm fatty acids
other drying and semi drying oils, mineral oils and Inert Gas Soot
APPLICATIONS
Tank Cleaning
Before cleaning with Careclean Alkaline it is recommended to prewash with
hot water. For drying or semi-drying oils a prewash with cold water should
be carried out immediately after discharge of cargo to prevent against
oxidation and hardening of oil residues. After 1 cycle slowly start to
increase the water temperature to increase effectiveness of the prewash.
Reciculation Method
Recirculation is highly effective and widely used. In this method a chemical
solution is pumped via a closed loop through a mechanical tank washing
machine. The chemical solution is normally prepared in the tank to be
cleaned or in the slop tank. Heat is achieved by the use of a heat exchanger, steam coils or live steam injection. The advantages of this method
are the recovery of the heat and chemicals to clean additional tanks.
